Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political turmoil in China, with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The coin's design, featuring a portrait of a Cantonese martyr, reflects the political and social changes that were taking place in the country during this period.
